Magic Gel Migraine Ice Head Wrap - FSA HSA Eligible | Real Migraine & Headache Relief | The Original Headache Cap | Cold, Comfortable, Dark & Cool; Endorsed by Physicians, Loved by Thousands - Purple

I bought this cap to help with migraines. A cold cloth or ice pack when you have a migraine can offer some relief but they either don't get cold enough or stay cold long enough. I found this item during a search for an alternative and after reading the reviews decided to give this a go. After using this cap with several migraines I have mostly wonderful things to say about it and only a few minor negatives.Pros:This thing gets cold and I mean freezing cold and it will stay cold for at least an hour. When I go to bed with a migraine, this thing is cold long enough for me to go to sleep. The cap is also a snug fit which is a great bonus because the tightness of the cap applies pressure which when combined with the cold is a winning combo! The cap is sectioned out in squares and inside each square is an ice cube which can be moved or pushed to the area that is hurting. The ice cubes are hard but not so hard that you can't lay down on them. I can use this cap sitting in a chair or sleeping in bed and I never have to fear it will fall off!Cons:The cap will probably freeze your eyeballs! No matter how you put the cap on, there is always an ice cube close to your eyes. If you headache is coming from your eyes then this is a good thing but if you are experiencing pain from another part of your head, then your eyes are going to hurt from the cold. Also, the square sections of the cap are too large (in my opinion). The cubes can only be moved around within their square and this means that when you put the cap on, that you might not be able to get a cube to actually sit on or be near your source of pain. I actually had this happen a few times. I think the squares should be smaller which would allow for more ice which in turn would provide for more coverage.I considered these Cons to be minor because I was able to come up with a solution for both cons. For the ice not getting to the right area, I found that I could turn my cap sideways or put it on halfway and that would put a square in the right place. The cap is designed to go on one way so it can be a little uncomfortable when you have to wear it off center but not as uncomfortable as a migraine. My favorite solution was for the eyeball freezing part. which required the use of a sleeping mask that I had bought on Amazon but didn't really like. The sleeping mask that I bought had claimed to have a Velcro band to help keep it secure at night but when I got it, there was no Velcro - it was just an elastic band which means it would slip off each and every night and I ended up throwing that sleeping mask in a drawer. That is until I got this cap. What I do is place the sleeping mask on my face and then place the cap over it. This had 3 positive side affects. The first was that the sleeping mask created a barrier between the cap and my eyes. I can still feel the coolness but its not so cold as to hurt my eyes anymore. The second was that the combination of the sleeping mask and the cap created a complete blackout from any and all light. As anyone who has ever suffered from a migraine knows - light is pain! And the third benefit is the cap is tighter on my head when I am wearing the sleeping mask which means it creates more pressure and pressure is relief where a migraine is concerned.I really love this item even with the cons I had mentioned. I might have felt differently if I hadn't been able to find a solution for them, but I did and I will never be without one of these. If they ever create an "Upgraded" version with smaller squares and maybe a built in eye cover that can be removed if needed, then I will be the first in line to purchase! I love this thing so much that I bought a second one and when I don't have a headache, they are both in the freezer and when a migraine hits me - I can rotate between the two and always have a cold cap handy if I need it.If you are a migraine sufferer and are looking for something to offer relief, then pull out your favorite sleeping mask and give this thing a try.

They are very effective delivering cool to my migraine. This is the third one I purchased because I like my comfort. I rotate them so they are always cool.

So ya girl ordered one of these hats because I saw it on TikTok. I suffer from chronic migraines. I get anywhere from 2-6 migraines a month. I’ve suffered from them for about 9-10 years. My usual routine is Excedrin, tiger balm on my forehead (which is my absolute lifesaver, I don’t go anywhere without it) and my long microwaveable heat pack for my head. But this headache hat is tight, so it gives you that compression feel to help relieve the tension. It also has little tiny gel ice packs all around it. It’s got a hole at the top to put my hair through and a cutout for my nose. I had a headache last night and was like oooo I can try this out. So it was in the freezer for about 2 hours. The gel packs don’t freeze solid, so it’s stays soft and pliable. I put this thing on and laid down and let me tell you. GAME CHANGER. I had never thought to use ice for my migraines. I’ve always just used heat because that’s what worked for me.. You look like a complete loon wearing it, but it works wonders! I do wish it was a little tighter on my head for more compression, but I have a child sized head so lol and it stayed cold for quite awhile. It’s stayed cold longer than my heat pack stays hot. I feel like I’m constantly asking my husband to heat my heat pack back up all the time 😅😅 but this they freezes in about 30-45 minutes. I’m going to just keep it in the freezer when I’m not using it because my migraines like to show up at random times. So I need this thing on standby!!

My sister in law sent me a viral video of someone swearing by this. I didn't buy it at first because I thought the price tag attached to it was a bit much, and honestly still do but that's my opinion.. But I have extremely disabling migraines I've had most of my life now that meds usually don't help with so I figured I'd try it and just send it back if it ended up not working. Well I still have it as it works extremely well. Even with my more severe ones where I'm usually barely functional just because of the head pain alone this eases it to the point I can function again.Pros: It helps with the pain and almost completely kills it in some cases. It's easy to use and easy to put on and even fits my husband's head and he's got a much larger head than I do.Cons: The price for what it is is a bit much. You cannot store this in the freezer as the ice packs become extremely hard and inflexible and it gets so cold it actually causes more pain that way. I was really hoping the icepacks were the flexible ones they sell that never get that cold but apparently not. So when you do get a headache you have to put this in the freezer and wait a good 30-45 minutes before it's cold enough to be effective and that's obviously inconvenient when you are in a lot of pain and would rather just be able to put it on immediately.Overall if they change the type of icepacks that are in this I would buy it again, not just for myself, but for my family and friends who also suffer with headaches and migraines. I also feel like the price would be more reasonable with those types of icepacks in there.

Bought this for my wife and she absolutely loves it. It stays cold without even needing to place it in the fridge most times. It has been an immense help in relieving her headaches and helping her relax. Perfectly fits all sizes of heads for her little head to my giant head. Seems to hold up well and whatever materials it's made from, it doesn't seem like it'd be a problem even if it got damaged (it would leak weird blue goo everywhere or whatever it's made of).
